<p><span>The purpose of this FOA is to support investigator-initiated R21 applications that will inform our understanding of the typical and atypical patterns of language and literacy development of dual language learners (DLLs) in the United States. Applicants are encouraged to take advantage of advances in the language sciences and related fields to identify and clarify specific cognitive, linguistic, neurobiological, and sociocultural factors associated with normal and impaired language and literacy acquisition in young DLL populations.</span></p>
<p><span>Aims to fund academic work that will contribute to the improvement of education, broadly conceived. In the past, proposals within the Small Grants program have been within one of the following areas of inquiry: The Relation between Education and Social Opportunity; Teaching, Learning, and Instructional Resources; The New Civics; Organizational Learning in Schools, School Systems, and Higher Education Systems; Purposes and Values of Education.</span></p>
<p><span>The program is designed to support rigorous evaluations of education interventions that state or local education agencies expect to produce meaningful improvements in student education outcomes within a short period (for example, within a single semester or academic year). These evaluations are to be conducted for $250,000 or less and completed within two years. The program will be carried out by research institutions and state or local education agencies working together as partners.
<p><span>The program is intended to support research that is carried out by research institutions and U.S. state and local education agencies working collaboratively on problems or issues that are a high priority for the education agencies. The research may focus on students within a wide range of education settings from prekindergarten through postsecondary and adult education, and may focus on typically developing students and/or students with or at risk for disability.

<p><span>The overall purpose of the Institute's training programs is to prepare individuals to conduct rigorous and relevant education research that advances knowledge within the field and addresses issues important to education policymakers and practitioners. </span></p>
<p><span>Through its training programs, the Institute seeks to fund new approaches to train and mentor students and researchers from diverse backgrounds in order to encourage their entry into and success in education research careers.
<p><span>Successful proposals funded under this initiative will fall into one of three broad categories: Studies of instructional practice, of the educational infrastructure that supports or hinders effective practice, and of the research infrastructure that supports inquiry into educational practice. These categories are not meant to be either exhaustive or mutually exclusive, but help to map the terrain.</span></p>
<p><span>Supports efforts to bring together scholars whose substantive knowledge, theoretical insight, and methodological expertise can be assembled in ways that build upon and reach beyond familiar modes of thinking concerning conundrums or problems in education research, specifically those related to critical questions in the area of Teaching and Learning.</span></p>
<p><span>The Russell Sage Foundation launched its program on Race, Ethnicity, and Immigration in the spring of 2015. This program seeks investigator-initiated research proposals on the social, economic, and political effects of the changing racial and ethnic composition of the U.S. population, including the transformation of communities and ideas about what it means to be American.
